on my car gave up on me...afta 110k km... now the active steering warning light comes on and off...specially after some driving...kinda like the feel without the AFS...haha will update u guys on the fault once diagnosed...this is one expensive problem on the e60 to have...i hope it is just the sensors...
 
I had this problem and it was the "Steering Angle Sensor".

Was a cheap fix BUT A LONG TIME TO DIAGNOSE.

Took 3 - 4 visits. Everytime cannot repeat the problem. Restart the car, problem goes away.

So i hope this might be your issue. :)
 
ok guys...next time u get this problem sure headache one...on the GT1 all sorts of error came out, for eg Angle Sensor Fault, Engine Position Fault, Steering Module Threshold Exceed and etc...:eek:

so on Sunday afta I got fed-up with the on and off warning light and sekejap ada AFS sekejap tarak, i decided to take out the steering and check the optical angle sensor...afta dismantling quite some stuff including the steering module control board where the angle sensor is located, i saw the disc was dirty and some scrathes on it...so i rub it with my finger to clean it and hopefully polish off the fine scrathes...after a few rubs it looks good again...install everything back and test drove until go up genting, come down genting, to sunway and back...yahoo no error message again...so i think it was the angle sensor that causes all the error reading on all other sensor like the engine (AFS servomotor) position sensor and the pinion hall's effect sensor...

so total own DIY repair time about 1h 30min and costs about RM10 for the precision torx screwdrivers...:top:

You are lucky RedBaron not around to snatch your steering otherwise u will not be able to fix your steering back in a straight position.
Maybe next time you want your steering removed call me I will come and help if you need.
By the way maybe we can open a shop specialising on removing steering only. hehhehehehehe
